    Texas Caviar ( Biggest Loser recipe)

    One 15-ounce can 50-percent less sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
    One 15-ounce can 50 percent less sodium whole kernel corn, rinsed and drained
    3/4 cup fresh salsa or pico de gallo (refrigerated, not jarred)
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    1-1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon cumin
    Salt, to taste
    Ground pepper, to taste
    Hot sauce, to taste
    In a large glass or plastic mixing bowl or a large resealable plastic container, combine the beans, corn, salsa or pico de gallo, cilantro, vinegar and cumin. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight before serving. Makes six 1/2-cup servings.

    Made this last night and threw in some leftover rice. Had leftovers today with shrimp but I had it hot instead of as a salad.

    Skinnytaste.com has some great recipes for black beans.

    Black bean and sweet potato tacos. There are different ways to do it but my favorite is to roast the cubed/chunked potatoes with a little olive oil, garlic, cumin and cayenne/chili powder at 350 for about 40 minutes. You may have to stir or rotate the cookie sheet once, depending on your oven. Then in a heavy skillet: cook onion in a little more oil til translucent, add a can of black beans and some tomatoes, or taco sauce/salsa, even green salsa is good. Cook off most of the liquid. Put both things in tortilla. Cilantro and queso fresco. Dinner.

    I like to put them in a whole wheat tortilla with some low fat cheese and salsa and if I have enough calories, some light sour cream and/or guacamole. I love mexican food.

    Some ground Turkey in there as well. Guacamole has good fats. Solid idea.

    I don't normally like black beans but I made this chilli a few weeks ago and it was really good! I'm actually going to make it again tonight.

    Black bean burgers are delicious. I made them and even my beef-loving boyfriend adored them. There's tons of recipes online, so just find one to your liking. Other than that, I eat them in the usual thing... chili, burritos, tacos, quesedillas, etc.
